Harrisville Designs of New Hampshire partners with the Violet Protest!
“As a company that embodies the same core American Values that the Violet Protest supports, we’re glad that you’ve come to us to assist in your endeavor.”
We are excited to announce that Harrisville Designs has agreed to a partnership with the Violet Protest by putting together a special “Violet Protest Edition” project kit comprised of their USA-made Friendly Loom including 3 bags each of red and blue – enough to make 12 woven potholders 8” x 8” in size.
This is a wonderful way to open this project up to kids or “non-textile” friends in your life. But it’s also a way for even experienced makers to efficiently contribute to the Violet Protest by making 12 squares easily and with quality, finished results in a variety of red/blue woven patterns.
Normally, a kit like this would retail for over $110.00 + shipping - but Harrisville Designs is offering the Violet Protest Kit at $74.95 and with free shipping in the continental US. To take advantage, Violet Protest makers should call Harrisville at 800-338-9415 ext. 201, 9 am – 5pm EST. Ask for the Violet Protest Project Kit.
